ames "Jim/Jimmy" Sypult, 62, of Edgewater, MD, and formerly of Hyattsville and Huntingtown, passed away on Monday, February 10, 2025, at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, MD, following a courageous 10-year battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Born on November 5, 1962, in Washington, DC, to the late Martha Ann Short Sypult Lewis Bliss and Jack Sypult, Jim lived a life defined by hard work, faith, and a deep love for family and friends. A graduate of Northern High School, he dedicated himself to his career, first with EJ Whalen-Plumbing Co. and later with Pepco, where he worked tirelessly for 34 years as a Lead Line Mechanic before retiring. Never one to sit still, Jim continued his passion for the trade as an Electrical Superintendent for Anchor Construction until his passing. A man of unwavering faith, Jim was a longtime member of Chesapeake Christian Fellowship in Davidsonville, MD, where he found strength and community. He was also a member of the Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association, embracing his love for the water. Whether out on the boat, golfing with friends, traveling to new places, or spending time at the beach, Jim found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He had a special love for crabs, enjoying countless crab feasts surrounded by family and friends—moments that brought him true happiness. Jim’s generous spirit was evident in everything he did. A natural problem-solver and "handyman extraordinaire," he was always the first to lend a helping hand. In his earlier years, he made cherished memories as a Cub Scout den leader and relished the adventures of RV life while traveling to dirt bike races with his son. Above all, Jim treasured the time spent with his loved ones, creating lasting memories filled with laughter, love, and togetherness. Jim’s legacy of kindness, hard work, and devotion to those he loved will live on in the countless lives he touched. In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his son, Stephen Sadelson.
